OT catching up, busy busy

Hi all! I've been trying to get caught up on all the posts. I have been reading them, and I'm sorry I did not always respond to all of them! Time has been scarce, and it's been kind of hectic for me this holiday season. The retail bakery business totally rocked this year! We missed having another record week of sales by only $400!! I can't remember if I mentioned before now about our previous record week, the week of Thanksgiving. The store manager and our department manager took us to the best steakhouse/restaurant in town for lunch as a reward for our hard work and record sales for that week. We were able to order anything we wanted! We had a great time ate way too much food! It was nice to feel so appreciated. Well Christmas is finally over. Our youngest DS had a little 'toe-stubbing' accident Christmas night, and about tore the dang toenail off of his big toe! We thought his toe was broken at first. It bled, and bled, and once I got it cleaned up, I noticed thebase of the nail had come separated from the cuticle. EW and ouch! I decided not to take him to the ER. It wasn't broken, and couldn't be stitched. So he was laid up for four days with his bandaged foot elevated on the back of the couch or up on pillows in his room He was miserable, because he is such an active kid!! I felt so bad for him, it had to be painful!! He is better now..he finally got a shoe on it in time to go back to school. DH and I finally got our decorations put away yesterday, all TEN totes of them! During all of that mess...haha....we got a phone call from our son on his way home from school. He was calling to tell us that his windshield got hit by a rock off of a semi truck, and his windshield has two pits from it and it spider-webbed up from the bottom of the drivers' side of the window! He was upset about it, and his dad wasn't happy about it either.(DS's car is is pride and joy..he got lotsa car-goodies for Christmas) DH went to the truck stop where the trucker stopped for fuel...

Thanks Judy. Things are looking up:-) DS 's toe is much better! He is starting basketball on Friday, and rearing to go! My other DS's windshield is not as bad as I thought, he will have to save some money to get it fixed. We are trying to get him to share responsibility with his cars' expenses. We bought the car, he pays insurance and licensing fees, and whatever else it may need. Mom and Dad can only help some! Linda
